Adi Chikara to Speak at 2016 RightsTech Summit

3Pillar’s Adi Chikara will be participating in a panel on the role of crypto-currencies at the Rights Tech Summit in New York City on July 26th at 12:25 pm. Adi will be on a panel alongside Michael Terpin, the Founder of Marketeeria, and Cédric Cobban, the President and Founder of PeerTracks.

The panel, titled “Crypto-Currencies, Side-Chains and Fiat Portals,” will look at the role of crypto-currencies within different marketplaces, and discuss whether the Blockchain is the end-all, be-all of these types of currencies. A description of the panel from the Rights Tech site is as follows:

“Bitcoin, Ether, crypto-USD. What is the role of crypto-currencies in RightsTech marketplaces? Is the Bitcoin blockchain the only game in town or will media-specific chains and currencies also play a role? Will fiat-pegged crypto-currencies be part of the mix?”

The Rights Tech Summit is a one day executive leadership conference that unites leaders under the focus of furthering technology innovation around rights management and licensing across multiple media verticals. The summit is a joint venture between Digital Media Wire Inc. and Concurrent Media Strategies, LLC. Its goal is to provide a first class conference for discussion, analysis, and debate on emerging technologies and technology-enabled strategies for the management, authentication, and monetization of creative rights across diverse media industries.
